They are car lights

These streaks are produced by car head-lights and tail-lights. If you want to take a shot like this you need a tripod.

Open the aperture fully and use the self timer when taking the shot to avoid camera shake. Also use the manual mode and set the shutter for 15secs.

I have placed a video below about night photography by the editor of DSLR tips. He explains how to take all kinds of night shots.
